Walmart's Jet.com is offering employees certain perks and benefits as it strives to compete with Amazon for talent.

• Jet.com is the Walmart's answer to its rival online retail giant Amazon.

• The Walmart subsidiary offers employees tempting perks in order to draw in talent.

• Benefits range from a generous parental leave policy to fun office traditions.

Jet.com, which Walmart acquired in 2016 for $3.3 billion, is the big box chain's answer to Amazon.

In order to compete in the online retail war for talent, Jet.com likes to tell prospective candidates they'd "look good in purple."

The company also offers its employees some pretty tantalizing perks.

Here's a look at some of the benefits Jet.com offers to draw in talent:
